Hello Karina and Team!

  Thanks for the update, and for writing out your hypothesis and conclusions! In the end, how many seeds in each bottle germinated? Is it that Red Bull didn't make the plant grow, or that Red Bull didn't make the plants grow more than plain water?

  It sounds like you're wrapping up your experiment. What was your favorite part about doing the experiment?

  Best,

Hello Karina, Tommy, and team Cool Coriander,

  Thank you for the update and the picture of the set up! So you have two plants, one growing in the bottle with red bull and one in the bottle with water, but none in the bottle with half water and half red bull? That's interesting! Do you notice anything about the bottles that might tell you why the rest of seeds aren't growing?  For example, sometimes mold will start to grow on the seeds, which you might be able to see. How do your results compare to other groups in your class?

 

  I hope you all had a lovely Halloween with lots of candy, we had beautiful weather here and lots of folks were out trick-or-treating.

  Best,

Dr. Evelyn

Hi Natalie and Tommy and Team Cool Coriander,

  Have fun at the party! That's too bad that nothing's growing. I hope that after the weekend you'll start to see something! How often are you watering? Unfortunately I wasn't able to see the picture, there's a "Files" section for our team that you could try - it's made for uploading pictures.

  Thanks! Looking forward to more updates!

  Best,
